I CHOSE a CAUSE. I focused and began to  organize. This helps CEASE my daily anxiety, connects me to others, and generates hope. This is how I am meeting the moment.  May we all find a way forward.

Unplanted annuals laid to WASTE,
as are the few pretty pots put together
when spring blew in the urge. 
Friend generous to SHARE
abundance of seedlings. 
Spring days filled,
other choices made
June has arrived
with departures imminent. 
These plants will wither, 
circumstances changed. 

In this moment I fully admit
what inactions have indicated
for weeks. There, on the stoop,
the promise of nectar neglected.
Glancing with guilt, I see how
they CEASE to be priority, 
or even possibility.
